HONEY CIRCUIT is a dynamic four to five piece dance band dance band that plays '70 rock, '80s new wave, '90s pop, and '00s dance hits!

While HONEY CIRCUIT was only formed in 2007, its band members have worked together in several other musical projects and have decades of combined performance experience. Members consist of Christina, Rik, Jack and Chris.

CHRISTINA (Lead Vocals) – Singing and dancing since she learned first learned to walk and talk, Christina has performed in a variety of venues, from musical theater, hosting a TV dance show, and fronting Top 40 bands, to strutting on fashion runways, performing as a back-up dancer for local pop artists, and go-go dancing at hotspots in the East Coast. With a versatile vocal range, she is equally skilled in powering through rock tunes by Guns ‘N Roses or jamming out dance numbers by Fergie. When she’s not gigging, you can find her tearing up dance floors at clubs all over the Bay Area.

RIK (Guitar/Vocals) – Born and raised in Texas, Rik’s love affair with music began as a toddler, performing Charlie Rich and Nat King Cole numbers to the delight of family and friends. As a teen, he studied jazz and classical guitar, and continued with advanced classical guitar training in college. He has been a professional musician for almost two decades, performing with numerous original and cover bands at venues coast to coast, from Seattle to Boston. When he’s not doing cover tunes with Honey Circuit, Rik writes and performs original music.

JACK (Bass/Vocals) - With a music-teacher mom and a jazz-pianist dad, it was a sure bet Jack would also be a musician. Beginning his classical training on clarinet and piano at age 8, Jack eventually persuaded his parents to rent him a beat-up P-bass copy, "just for fun". By the time he was a sophomore in college, he was spending more time picking out pop tunes by ear on his bass than practicing his "real" instruments. He has since spent 15+ years playing bass and singing in Bay Area original and cover bands, from 10-person holes-in-the-wall to respected venues like The Catalyst, Slim's, and Gilman Street.

CHRIS (Drums) – Chris started rockin' on stage before he was born, as his mother played guitar in front of hundreds. As a kid, he relentlessly banged on things, playing drums as soon as he could hold the sticks. At first filling in for gigs while his parents searched for a drummer, he kept out-doing those that auditioned and eventually retained his throne. He played his first paid gig in packed bar in Hollister, CA at the age of 15. Chris is currently a full time drum instructor at the Showcase Music Institute, produces and co-hosts the Bay Area's Makin' Music TV show, and still packs the clubs playing with incredible bands like Honey Circuit.
